With appearances on HuffPost Live, her writing has been featured in Psychology Today, The Fix, and other notable publications. It’s annoying.) I was relieved when I finally found a memoir that dealt with some of the real issues of addiction, in particular the fact that the author was a dual diagnosis addict and that she spent time in a halfway house and sober living facility. I am pretty squeamish when it comes to needles so I had to put the book down and take a breath at certain points. The audible version I enjoyed is made better by Amy, the author, reading it herself- plus, if she HADN'T read it herself, all those jokes about how very deep her voice is wouldn't have hit the mark at all. This book was a quick read, and the author has the ability to draw the reader in. (function() { There are no age suitabilities for this title yet. Start by marking “My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean” as Want to Read: Error rating book. Let me start by saying this is the first book review I've ever written, AND, i rarely give books 5 stars. Anyway I was listening to the Amy Dresner interview and I am interested in finding out what that folate vitamin was called! I think that can be hard to accomplish, especially with such a serious subject matter. Very compelling. There are no notices for this title yet.

My Fair Junkie A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean (Book) : Dresner, Amy : A former stand-up comic and prolific online writer chronicles her twenty-year battle with sex, drug, and alcohol addiction, and what happened when she finally emerged on the other side. Amy has a unique way of writing where she can convey the story to you in a raw and direct manner, but also grab you with a laugh and a chuckle! A harrowing but also heartfelt and hilarious story of how she battled her demons to come out the other side. (I’m h. Written by a comedienne, but if it was supposed to be funny, it missed the mark. They were, like… forty percent more likely to brandish a knife.” “You’re an asshole.” He holds me for a bit in silence and then kisses my neck. ), yet is is so so hard the whole book is based on numerous complains how hard sweeping the street is! Get this from a library!
Kudos Amy!
I thought it was an extremely effective method of storytelling. I very real and raw story of how addiction can affect your life. My Fair Junkie A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean (Book) : Dresner, Amy : A former stand-up comic and prolific online writer chronicles her twenty-year battle with sex, drug, and alcohol addiction, and what happened when she finally emerged on the other side.
I've been a follower of Amy's through her writing for The Fix and other recovery publications, so I knew this would deliver. I felt that although Dresner has good intentions with her story, we as the readers do not really get to the core roots of her addiction and are left in the end with a cliff hanger love story. I was given an advance copy of this book for review. A witty, engaging memoir of addiction told (and read by) the author, a stand up comic- which makes this an unflinchingly honest, candid and FUNNY account of a terrible malady. She writes about trying to get clean multiple times and spending time in sober houses and court. I ended up hate reading this at the end. But at 24, she started dabbling in meth in San Francisco and unleashed a fiendish addiction monster.
